I gotta admit that I'm struggling to wrap my head around this. That's why I waited 24 hours to respond. I actually have more concerns than recommendations; most of them relating to how the "moderation

I finally retested the Send Message (as owner) and today it's arriving with the correct (owner) "From" address and no display name. I wanted to see how this was going to play out before re-testing. I

Having spent my entire career supporting mainframe OSes, I thought JohnF's model was a minimal, implementable, and rational approach to what will only become a bigger problem the longer it is pushed t

Hi Mark, >>> I spent most of this week working on adding the ability to moderate a bunch more things, including adding/editing calendar events, files, photos, wiki, etc. It's a lot of tricky work and

That looks very like a lot of detailed controls being added for the sake of adding detailed controls rather than because there is any real need for them. Just because any given permission is possible

One way a lot of organizations handle fine-grained permissions is to have a specific permission for every little thing you want to allow or deny, and then define "roles" that aggregate all the little

Batch (or bulk) operations are a regular theme on beta, but IMHO there is a potential catch. Back in 2018 Mark set up the "-test" capabililty that allowed (inter alia) the bulk deletion of redundant t

Based on the original discussion, at a minimum, any member on moderation should also be moderated for all features. That wouldn't be fine enough control on some groups though. For example, GMF posts a

It would be great if moderators could help owners to batch-delete photo files.

Yes; you're right. A bit weird, certainly, but at least when the message is looked at (as opposed to the topic) its "official status" is clear. I wondered about Group Moderator / Group Owner, but I'm

To be more precise, after another test: in the web message archive (topics page) both messages show my display name. Only if I open them they show "Group Moderator" as the sender (why not "Group Owner

Chris Jones: In my case, nothing has changed, unfortunately. I've just sent a message in two of my groups from the owner's address and in the web interface both show with my Display Name, as before. M

For files, I would prefer moderation at the folder level. I'm not sure whether this is what you meant. What I'd really like is upload/edit permission to be granular at the folder level. I don't want p

#update

For the groups I run, coarse-grained moderation would be adequate.

Chris, I have not had time to retest this but I absolutely, distinctly remember that the display name is at least included in the From address. That makes the feature virtually useless for Send Messag

Mark; I've just done a test elsewhere and can confirm that the web UI display is now correct; much better! However, I would argue that the format of the emailed post is still at best "unclear", as it

Another thing to consider: when searching, I first tried the Moderator Activity dropdown. Not finding it there, I next tried Message Activity dropdown. Not there, either. Turns out it's in the Member
